Battlecrest: Metronn Base Game

Battlecrest: Metronn Base Game

From BoardGameGeek

What is the mark of a true champion? Legendary heroes clash across the Neververse to find out. Battlecrest is a card-based tactical skirmish game for 2 players (1-4 with expansions). With perfect information, players must truly outwit their opponent to win. Characters are composed of 6-card sets featuring a hero card, a health tracker, and action cards. Occasionally a minion or item will replace an action card. The map is built of 6 cards as well, with the cards randomly placed in a set pattern. Players take turns maneuvering their characters around the dynamic, and often dangerous map while unleashing powerful attacks. As action cards are used they open up new possibilities and empower the character's battlecrests. Build up to decisive strikes or refocus to get powers back. Every character has a unique set of actions and preferred tactics, so no two battles play the same. The Metronn Base Game includes two heroes, Kaladeos and Exa (and her minion, Sparkles), and the Metronn map. All in just 18 cards, packed in our little wallets. No additional components are needed to play, though it is compatible with all other Battlecrest products (including the Fellwoods Base Game, the Imperator Solo Expansion, and the team play rules). Metronn: a massive city filled with neon color and alien architecture. In the labyrinth of alleys between districts a grinning sentrybot chases a twisted figure, bent by dark magic. As their battle explodes suddenly in the middle of the street, bystanders run for cover while cameras broadcast every move to giant screens. Finally, a spectacle worthy of Metronn. Metronn Map Set: 6 Landmark cards On behalf of his order, master header Kaladeos has scoured wraith-corrupted worlds across the Neververse. Now he depends on his healing skills to survive the nidus of dark magic left behind by a grievous wound. The Wraithlock he wears enables Kaladeos to draw on that magic to enhance his body at the risk of becoming a wraith himself. Kaladeos Hero set: 1 Hero, 1 Health, 1 Item, 3 Action cards. Kaladeos AI Sheet: for solo play, requires Imperator expansion. Exa was once a simple sentry-bot, a modular android protecting the megawealthy. But years of constants reprogramming and conflicting orders burned out her emotional regulator. Now a merceanry, Exa and her pet turret Sparkles are known for their glitchy dispositions and the devastation they leave in their wake. Exa Hero set: 1 Hero, 1 Health, 1 Minion, 3 Action cards. Exa AI Sheet: for solo play, requires Imperator expansion. -description from the publisher
